A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometers in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance ...

Reader Jayant Bhalerao, a college physics instructor, found the story useful in class: “We will share it with our students, so that they can appreciate how ...

One way to get moving charges is to run electric current through a wire. (This is literally a stream of electrons.) This will create a magnetic field, and other wires with electric current will ...

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new ...

Merging some esoteric physics principles with an advanced instrument creates a magnetic microscope with resolution better ...

The Analyzer for Cusp Electrons (ACE) is designed to measure electron activity in the region of the northern magnetospheric ...

Nearly two centuries after Faraday's failed attempts, scientists have demonstrated that Earth's continuous spin can directly ...

"EZIE is the first mission dedicated exclusively to studying the electrojets," Larry Kepko, an EZIE mission scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, said in a statement. "It does ...

With today’s data rates of only a few hundred megabytes per second, access to digital information remains relatively slow.

while a magnetic field is not. The presence of an electric field may cause a shock when touching a metal object, such as a fence or car, near a transmission line. The shock is caused by the body of ...

A shortage of transformers is causing delays to power projects everywhere, holding trillion-dollar industries hostage—and ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope used its Near-Infrared Spectrograph to capture Neptune’s auroras in stunning detail.
